You can now be arrested for carrying a rucksack in a tube station and, essentially, nothing else. This includes spending a night in the cells, having your home searched, having items removed, to be returned at an indefinite future time, and having your DNA, fingerprints and the fact you were arrested for this placed on file in perpetuity.
If this isn't abuse of police power I don't know what is. And the ID card database state will just make it worse.
